1. The Publisher/Vendor-Library Relations Committee of ALCTS has been
known for many years as a sponsor of timely programs and forums on
issues of wide interest throughout the ALA community. Now, PVLR is
being reorganized as an ALCTS "Interest Group," to create a largely
self-governing body enabled to mount programs, sponsor publications,
and conduct other activities in support of communication and
collaboration among the publishers, vendors, and librarians who do
business with one another.
Please join us at the ALA Midwinter meeting in San Diego if you would
like to be a part of the new PVLR. We are looking for publishers,
vendors, and librarians with energy and ideas who enjoy exploring the
issues surrounding the business end of librarianship.
Our meeting will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2-4 pm, in the
Boardroom of the Radisson Harbor View Hotel.
2. You might also want to attend PVLR's open forum in San Diego,
"Here Today, Gone Tomorrow: Why Online Content Disappears." We are
pleased to have a group of presenters which includes Davies Menefee,
Director, Library Relations, the Americas, Elsevier; Sam Brooks,
Senior Vice President, EBSCO; and Dawn Conway, Content & Business
Development, LexisNexis. Our moderator is Rick Lugg, of R2 Consulting.
The forum will take place on Monday, January 12, 9:30-11 am, New
York/Orlando Rooms of the San Diego Marriott Hotel.
We hope to see many of you in San Diego.
